Question

If a train travels 80 m/s in two hours and 20 minutes, how far has it traveled?

ANSWER IN KILOMETERS

Answer 1

5856 km

Explanation:

change 2 hours 20 minutes to seconds

2 hrs * 60 minutes/1hr * 60 sec/min = 7200 sec

20 minutes * 60 sec/min = 120 sec

2 hr 20 min = 7320 seconds

80 m/s * 1 km / 1000 m = .08 km/s

distance = rate * time

distance = .080 km/s * 7320 s = 5856 km
